Critics of a feminist-advocate-prostitute who was recently buried in the same cemetery in which Calvin is believed to have been buried are in an uproar because she’s she has been disinterred and reburied.

All the secular news media keep repeating that Calvin is buried in this cemetery, but wasn’t he buried in an unmarked grave?
Yes, he was buried in an unmarked grave. I guess it’s possible to know in what cemetery/churchyard without knowing exactly where.
Is this really the case? My reading of the news article is that even feminists aren’t too happy about the honor given to a prostitute. I didn’t see anything about feminists being offended by her proximity to Calvin.
Fair enough.
